October 2025 APBA Journal Club

It is critical for practicing behavior analysts to remain in contact with the scholarly literature. In fact, behavior analysts who are certified and/or licensed likely have an ethical obligation and requirement to maintain their skills and knowledge and to accrue continuing education hours. Finding time to connect with research and other important scholarly work can be a challenge for professionals. APBA to the rescue! Our monthly Journal Club highlights peer-reviewed work relevant to your professional activities. Articles are presented by at least one of the article’s authors giving you a chance to ask questions about the article and how to put strategies into practice. Student, trainees, and Behavior Technicians are encouraged to attend to engage with their scientist-practitioner community and develop their skills.

This month we are featuring the article titled Improving Human-Service Organizations through Process Mapping: A Tutorial for Practitioners presented by Molli Luke. The presenter will walk us through the article with a particular focus on the practical application of strategies and considerations for implementation. Attendees will be able to submit questions ahead of time and throughout the presentation.
